Evidence

The House Homeland Security Committee said the SAFEGUARDS Act would require 9/11 Passenger Security Fee revenue to go toward aviation and airport security. The release states the bill was cosponsored by Rep. Tim Kennedy and quotes industry groups praising Kennedy's bipartisan leadership and the bill's focus on next-generation screening technologies and modernized baggage systems.

Official committee release during the lookback window confirms Kennedy was actively cosponsoring the SAFEGUARDS Act and that the bill's purpose is to redirect passenger security fee revenue to airport security technology.

Kennedy's House office posted a press release titled 'Kennedy Leads Bipartisan SAFEGUARDS Act to Enhance Airport Security,' stating that he introduced the SAFEGUARDS Act with Rep. Dale Strong to ensure revenue from the 9/11 Passenger Security Fee is properly allocated to airport security equipment and upgraded risk-detection technology.

Kennedy's own office confirms he introduced the legislation in the same period covered by the refresh window and describes the precise allocation and technology goals in the claim.

The claim is that Kennedy is sponsoring legislation to direct 9/11 Passenger Security Fee revenue toward airport security equipment and upgraded risk-detection technology. The evidence shows that during his current federal House term he introduced or cosponsored the SAFEGUARDS Act with that precise purpose. Because the promised action was sponsorship/introduction of legislation rather than enactment, this satisfies the claim in the same term.
